We have talked about the Galaxy Tab many times before. We have shown a video, talked about its accessories, and the rumor of it going to Verizon.
It has shown up at an IFA Press Conference, and it’s the Android 2.2 tablet that could give the iPad a run for its money.
Don’t forget the 7-inch screen with the 1024 x 600 display, a front-facing video camera, Flash 10.1, HTML 5, and doubles as an e-reader.
I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about it soon.
Press Release:
